Join us to support strengthening consumer protections in Washington!

Did you know that there’s a loophole in Washington state law that allows big corporations, like Starbucks, to claim unspent customer dollars left on gift cards as revenue?

This money belongs back in the hands of consumers. Or, like in other states, gift card money – if left unclaimed for 3+ years – should fund vital services across the state.

In WA, the package could raise approximately $2.5 billion over 10 years for public health, education, and housing.

We joined the Washington Consumer Protection Coalition to put the public good over corporate greed – join us and sign the petition to close the loophole: [link removed]
